Let’s all take a sec and appreciate that we finally have a coach that is holding our players accountable.
As much as I love Ivey and think he’s going to be a great player, the horrid defense and turnovers are things that need to be improved on if he wants to stay on the floor.
Hopefully Wiseman getting a DNP lights a fire under his ass and maybe he starts setting actual screens and playing some defense.
The Casey days are over, no more blatant tank jobs (at least hopefully not right after the ASB anymore) and no more BS on the court that our young guys get to play through for “development”. Development will come if our boys are playing high level basketball on a consistent basis. Praising effort, defense, and high BBIQ is how Detroit has always done it.
We are so back. Cade is Him. Go Pistons.
TLDR: thank god we’re not putting a circus act out on the floor every night anymore
I think it’s fair to say that it could have been one of those legend-making moments for Cade.
Like maybe Monty was of the mind that if Cade hits this shot, he’s rocketed into mythology as a cold blooded dude.
Realistically, the NBA comes down to if you make the playoffs or not. We’ll probably still be bottom third of the ladder. Why not see if Cade can ice a game like that?
